Outputs
OUTPUTS: IPM COORDINATION: The IPM Coordinator provided IPM training to 3000 commercial pesticide applicators through direct contact and video, plus prepared an IPM slide set for private applicators at 30 county trainings. The Coordinator developed the Eastern Crop Scout School agenda and taught at the school, which trained 125 people in the east part of ND. The Coordinator participated in the Western Crop Scout School, also, which trained 145 individuals. The Coordinator conducted a stakeholder meeting in the spring of 2010, and coordinated updating of the IPM web page. IPM COLLABORATION: An extension agronomist from NDSU and an extension entomologist from the Univ. of Minnesota cooperatively developed two "Best of the Best" workshops in the spring of 2010, one in Grand Forks, ND, and one in Moorhead, MN. The workshops were attended by over 400 producers and consultants who learned about wheat and soybean diseases and insects. IPM IN AGRONOMIC CROPS: Field Survey: The IPM grant supported two of five field scouts in the summer of 2009, scouts who surveyed wheat, barley, soybean, sunflower and canola for insects and diseases. Over 2300 fields were surveyed and growers, county agents, and crop consultants were provided immediate feedback on pest presence and severity, via an AgDakota list serve, the 15 issues of the NDSU Crop and Pest report, county Ag Alerts, and weekly postings of pest distribution and severity on the NDSU IPM web site. Integrated Management Strategies for Fusarium head blight: The value of the use of integrating management strategies to reduce this wheat head disease, Fusarium head blight, was demonstrated in 2009 on two locations of both winter wheat and spring wheat in eastern ND. The strategies studied were variety resistance and fungicides. Field days were held at these locations, plus the resultant data was posted at the NDSU small grains web site hosted by Joel Ransom. Additional reports on the data were included on the national ScabSmart web site. DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES: The NDSU Diagnostic Lab received 2762 samples in 2009. Approximately 75% of these were submitted by non-extension personnel, and 43% of all samples submitted were pests associated with field crops, followed by 12% woody ornamental pest problems. The Diagnostic Lab provided a year-end report of the lab's outputs on their web site. provided a year-end report of the lab's outputs on their web site. URBAN IPM: The urban, ornamental specialist provided pest management information in the Dakota Gardener Newsletter, published on-line, and via Master Gardener Trainings. Ten sheets on ornamental pest management were drafted for completion in 2010. The publications list provided with this report provides all above pertinent web sites and newsletters in which IPM information was disseminated. PARTICIPANTS: PRIMARY INDIVIDUALS ON PROJECT: Marcia McMullen, NDSU IPM Coordinator and Plant Pathologist, who coordinates the IPM programs, develops the Field Scout Schools, helps update the IPM webpage and disease forecasting site for wheat, and for the ScabSmart web site, contributes to the NDSU Crop and Pest Report, and co-coordinates the IPM pest survey, in addition to getting stakeholder input. Jan Knodel, NDSU Extension Entomologist coordinates development and uploading of IPM survey maps to the IPM webpage, co-coordinates the IPM survey, and co-edits the NDSU Crop and Pest Report. Joel Ransom, NDSU Extension Agronomist, co-coordinates the Collaboration of ND and MN in conducting the Best of the Best Workshops in ND and MN, and coordinates the Integrated Management demonstrations in spring and winter wheat for Fusarium head blight disease of wheat. Phil Glogoza is the MN participant in the collaborative project on the Best of the Best workshops. Kasia Kinzer, NDSU Pest Diagnostician, leads the NDSU Pest Diagnostic Lab and supervises Monty Botschner, assistant diagnostician. Tom Kalb, NDSU Horticulture Specialist, operates out of the Burleigh County office, and is responsible for updating IPM information for urban plantings, doing Master Gardener graining, and publishing the on-line Dakota Gardener. OTHER COOPERATORS: NDSU Extension specialists in pest management disciplines all work together to promote IPM practices. They include Rich Zollinger, Extension Weed Specialist, and area extension specialists who assist in the crop IPM survey, including Greg Endres, Carrington; Roger Ashley, Dickinson; Dan Waldstein, Minot; and Lionel Olson, Langdon. PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS: The ND Dept. of Agriculture supports efforts to survey for and document the presence or absence of exotic pests in ND. Andrew Thostenson, ND Pesticide Training Coordinator, makes it possible to provide IPM training to ND commercial and private pesticide applicators. Stakeholders that provide IPM guidance include representatives from the commodity groups in the state plus independent and commercial association crop consultants. The ND Wheat Commission, the ND Barley Council, and the ND Soybean Association assist with the planning and advertising of the Best of the Best Workshops. County agents in Sargent and Cass counties support the integrated management field demonstrations, and the Burleigh county commissioners help support the work of the state horticulturist housed in their county office. OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAINING: Two field crop scout training schools; two Best of Best Workshops in the Red River Valley of ND and MN; 19 commercial pesticide application training sessions; two field demonstrations; three Master Gardener Trainings, in addition to the ND Ag. Association annual meeting and the annual state and regional crop improvement meetings, where IPM information is shared. TARGET AUDIENCES: A primary target audience includes ND wheat and soybean producers. Wheat is grown on approximately 9 million acres per year, and soybeans on 3.9 million acres. ND has approximate 30,000 farms, and most would produce wheat and or soybean. The Best of the Best workshops target farmers in the Red River Valley. The NDSU Crop and Pest Report, where survey information and research results are shared, target all ND farmers. Exit surveys at Best of the Best workshops indicate that some of the most valuable informaiton they received at the workshops, that they plan to utilize, include explanation of disease forecasting information, use of disease and insect thresholds, integrated management of wheat diseases, updates on soybean cyst nematode management. Producers were also assessed on their use of IPM practices in the Pesticide Use and Pest Management Practices Survey published in 2009. Sixty-seven percent of farmer respondents scouted the field regularly for pests, 59% made pesticide treatments based on identity, density or pulation size of the pest rather than on a calendar basis, and 27% used a crop consultant to help them manage their crop pests. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
Impacts
COORDINATION: Coordination led to successful crop scout schools in which 270 individuals were trained in pest identification and pest management issues. Evaluations at these schools indicated that participants were planning to use pest thresholds, disease forecasting, and other best practices in their pest management decisions. Over 10,000 commercial and private pesticide applicators were trained in IPM principles of pest management, and indicated that they planned on implementing those strategies learned. COLLABORATION: The Best of the Best workshop participants in exit surveys indicated that the most valuable information they received from the workshop was information on wheat disease forecasting and threshold values for soybean aphid and wheat leaf rust. The collaboration for these two state borders brings information to a wider audience with similar pest problems. IPM in AGRONOMIC CROPS: The NDSU IPM pest survey showed that wheat leaf rust and soybean aphids were below threshold levels, resulting in reduced need and use of fungicide and insecticide to manage these problems in the summer of 2009. The survey also showed the distribution and severity of other important pest problems and this information was assessed via the NDSU Crop and Pest Report, the IPM web page, and other resources. ND producers increased their use of the internet to help make pest management decisions by 26% compared to the previous five years, as indicated in a major pest management practices survey. The Integration of Multiple Strategies to control Fusarium head blight in wheat component of the grant demonstrated the value of using more resistant varieties plus appropriate use of fungicides, giving a greater return than either strategy alone. For example, in the winter wheat study at Forman, yields were increased by 18.1%, and DON (deoxynivalenol = vomitoxin) was decreased by 30% with the use of fungicides, when averaged over all varieties, but the highest yield and lowest vomitoxin was achieved by a combination of resistance and fungicide use. This information was posted on the NDSU Small Grains web site. Information on use of integration of results vs using one strategy also led to dissemination in a national web site called ScabSmart. IPM SUPPORT FOR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES: Support for the NDSU Pest Diagnostic Lab allowed the lab to handle a high number of samples ~ 500 more than the previous year. It also assured that timely reports were sent to sample submitters for prompt management decisions and actions. URBAN IPM: Over 50 extension educators and an estimated 30,000 urban clientele learned about potential pest problems in the urban environment via an on-line newsletter and new fact sheets. This IPM program is a relatively new presence in urban pest management in ND. Urban clientele awareness of IPM will be critical as the state's horticultural programs move to more promotion of local sourced foods and the green industries.

Progress 07/15/09 to 07/14/10
Outputs
OUTPUTS: The 2009-2010 ND EIPM Grant addressed five IPM components: Coordination, Collaboration, Agronomic Crops, Pest Diagnostic Services, and Urban IPM. 1. IPM Coordination: Coordinator provided IPM training to 3000 commercial pesticide applicators and prepared an IPM slide set for private applicator training. The coordinator co-developed an eastern and western region field scout training school and scout training manual, attended by 125 people in east and 145 people in west; 17 NDSU students earned one credit for eastern school. Coordinator collaborated with Extension pest specialists and the ND Dept. of Agriculture to plan and conduct a stakeholder meeting in the spring of 2010. The coordinator updated the IPM webpage. 2. IPM Collaboration: State extension specialists from NDSU and from the Univ. of Minnesota cooperatively developed two "Best of the Best" workshops, one in Grand Forks, ND and one in Moorhead, MN, workshops attended by over 400 farmers who learned about pest management in wheat and soybean. 3. IPM in Agronomic Crops: a) An IPM field survey had five field scouts scouting five major crops in the state for diseases and insects. Over 2300 fields surveyed and immediate feedback on pest problems provided to growers, county agents and crop consultants, and to the ND Dept. of Agriculture and the Great Plains Diagnostic Network, for wheat virus detection. Survey results posted weekly at the website: http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/aginfo/ndipm/. b) The value of integrated management strategies for Fusarium head blight in wheat was demonstrated at two field locations in eastern ND, showing response to variety resistance and fungicide treatment. Field days were held at the two locations plus results posted online. 4. IPM Support for Diagnostic Services: The diagnostic lab received a record number of over 2700 samples in 2009, report found at: http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/diaglab/reports/2009-pdl.pdf). The lab is on pace in 2010 for over 4,000 samples. In 2009, 43% of the samples were field crop samples, followed by 12% as woody ornamental pest problems. 5. Urban IPM: A widely read newsletter for gardeners, the Dakota Gardener Newsletter, was prepared and published on-line (www.dakotagardener.com) and 10 fact sheets on ornamental pest management were drafted. The Burleigh county urban specialist expanded his on-line presence with above newsletter and conducted three train-the-trainer Master Gardener workshops. Dissemination of information : Best of the Best workshops (designed for farmers); two NDSU Field Scout Schools (designed for field scouts, consultants, agronomists); pesticide certification trainings (19 commercial applicator sessions across state and ~ 30 county trainings for private applicators), newsletters (NDSU Crop and Pest Report for farmers, consultants, other ag clientele, and the Dakota Gardener for commercial, private gardeners and extension personnel); extension publications for ND citizens, professional meetings, publications to share information regionally; on-line web sites and alerts, and email list serves (AgDakota for farmers and professional pest managers, county extension list serves). PARTICIPANTS: Primary individuals who worked on the project included: Marcia McMullen, NDSU IPM Coordinator and Plant Pathologist who coordinates the IPM programs, develops the Field Scout Schools, and helps update the IPM webpage and disease forecasting site for wheat and ScabSmart; Janet Knodel, NDSU Extension Entomologist who coordinates uploading the IPM survey maps to the IPM webpage, who helps plan and coordinate the IPM survey and who co-edits the NDSU Crop and Pest Report; Joel Ransom, NDSU Extension Agronomist who co-coordinates the Best of the Best Workshops and coordinates the Integrated Management demonstrations for Fusarium head blight; Kasia Kinzer, NDSU Pest Diagnostician, who leads the NDSU Pest Diagnostic Lab and is responsible for providing timely diagnoses and the annual report; and Tom Kalb, NDSU Horticulture Specialist, who operates out of the Burleigh County extension office as a state specialist and is responsible for updating and providing IPM information for urban plantings. Others that served collaborative roles included: Sam Markell, NDSU Extension Plant Pathologist, who assists with the IPM field survey and co-edits the NDSU Crop and Pest Report; Richard Zollinger, NDSU Extension Weed Scientist,who teaches the weed identifi cation portion of the scout school training and also coordinates the pest management practices survey; Greg Endres, Roger Ashley, Lionel Olson, and Dan Waldstein, all extension area specialists who supervised field scouts in their region for the IPM survey effort; Chad DePlazes, Research Specialist for Joel Ransom, who was instrumental in planting and maintaining the integrated management demonstration plots; Montgomery Botschner, Diagnostic Assistant, who is responsible for running many of the diagnostic tests on submitted pest samples; and Phil Glogoza, U of MN Extension Entomologist, who co-coordinated with Joel Ransom on organizing the Best of the Best Workshops. Partner organizations included the ND Dept. of Agriculture, Dave Nelson, contact, who supports efforts to document exotic pests in the state; Andrew Thostenson, ND Pesticide Training coordinator, who makes it possible to provide IPM training to ND pesticide applicators; ND Wheat Commission, ND Barley Council, ND Soybean Assoc., for publicizing the Best of the Best Workshops and encouraging farmer participation; county agents in Sargent and Steele Counties for support of integrated management field demonstrations; and Burleigh county commissioners for support of the horticulturist housed in the Burleigh county offices. Opportunities for training or professional development included 2 Field Scout Training Schools, one in Fargo and one in Minot; 2 Best of Best Workshops in the Red River Valley, one in Grand Forks,ND and one in Moorhead, MN; 19 commercial pesticide certification training sessions, and three Master Gardener Trainings. TARGET AUDIENCES: Summer field scouts through two formal classroom efforts, the field scout schools. Summer field scouts through field training and field survey. Crop consultants and field agronomists through formal classroom efforts of the Field Scout Training Schools and the Best of the Best Workshops. ND producers of major crops, through the Best of the Best Workshops, many winter commodity based or county based meetings, field demonstrations, and through on-line resources, such as the IPM webpage, the NDSU Crop and Pest Report, and the disease forecasting models, as well as entomology updates, AgDakota email messages, and through extension publications. Pesticide applicators, with efforts given at the 19 commercial pesticide applicator trainings provided across the state, as well as the many private applicator training sessions in counties. Homeowners, nursery personnel, and gardners, through the Master Gardener Trainings, the Urban IPM factsheets, the Dakota Gardener Newsletter, and through accurate diagnoses received from the Pest Diagnostic Lab, along with appropriate management information provided with the diagnoses. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
Impacts
Successful coordination and collaboration led to multiple, well attended IPM training sessions and web postings. Over 10,000 commercial and private pesticide applicators were trained in IPM strategies and planned to implement those strategies learned. Pest outbreaks monitored in the IPM survey had less of an economic impact on producers. For example, after training in pest management at the Best of the Best workshops, producers of wheat and soybean also had access to the field pest survey information, which indicated that wheat leaf rust and soybean aphid were below threshold levels, thus resulting in reduced need for fungicides and insecticides to manage these problems. The success of the NDSU IPM survey program also has been featured as a highlighted story from the NDSU extension service, "IPM Program Combats Crop Pests, Diseases" found at: http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/extension/extension-highlights. The integration of multiple strategies to control Fusarium head blight in wheat showed the value of use of more resistant varieties plus appropriate use of fungicides giving a greater return than either strategy alone. Preliminary results have indicated that growers could realize up to 20% bushel gain in yield with a combination of the more resistant spring wheats and a flowering application of a most efficacious, safe fungicides. A highlight of integration of strategies was summarized in an impact report, http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/impactreports/reports/2010-reports/10state-mcm ullen-crop.pdf/view, and other results were posted at: http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/varietytrials/fargo-main-station/2009-trial-re sults, as well as presented at meetings and field demonstrations. Support for the Pest Diagnostic Lab allowed the lab to make timely reports to people who sent in samples for diagnosis. The IPM support was especially critical considering the record number of samples received in 2009. The accurate and timely pest diagnoses received by farm, commercial and homeowner clientele allowed them to take appropriate and safe steps to manage pests, if warranted. The Diagnostic Lab also provided the IPM coordinator with timely diagnoses of wheat viruses to allow for timely dissemination of management information to wheat producers. The Urban IPM component resulted in increased knowledge on behalf of extension educators and the urban clientele about potential pest problems in the urban environment and the appropriate IPM strategies to manage those problems. This IPM program is a relatively new presence in urban pest management in ND. The urban clientele awareness of IPM will be critical as the state's horticultural programs move to more promotion of local sourced foods and green industries. Use of web based information and newsletters has been increased through all of these IPM programs, and a recent survey of IPM practices used by ND producers in ND indicates that this is warranted, as ND producers increased their use of the internet to help make pest management decisions by 26% compared to 5 years previously (Pesticide use and pest management practices in ND, 2008 survey, NDSU Extension Service publication W-1446).
